The latest edition of the yearbook, published in 2023, provides data from 2020 to 2022, covering the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, China's tourism industry has shown resilience and is gradually recovering.

Domestic Tourism

In 2022, China's domestic tourism revenue reached 2.59 trillion yuan (US$397 billion), a 23.1% increase from 2021. The number of domestic tourist trips also increased by 21.5% to 3.09 billion. This growth was driven by the government's stimulus measures, such as the issuance of travel vouchers and the promotion of domestic tourism destinations.

The number of inbound tourists decreased by 12.4% to 236 million, while the number of outbound tourists decreased by 23.5% to 30.6 million. The recovery of international tourism is expected to accelerate in 2023 as travel restrictions are gradually eased.

Tourism Infrastructure

In 2022, China continued to invest in tourism infrastructure, including the construction of new airports, high-speed rail lines, and tourist attractions. The country's total number of star-rated hotels increased by 4.3% to 14,973, and the number of hotel rooms increased by 4.1% to 2.44 million.

Tourist Spending Patterns

According to the China Tourism Statistical Yearbook, the average spending per domestic tourist trip was 1,500 yuan (US$228) in 2022, a 10.3% increase from 2021. The average spending per outbound tourist trip was 10,500 yuan (US$1,613), a 0.6% decrease from 2021.
